Defining the syntax of code-switching

Summary: David Sankoff and Shana Poplack develop this study, which intends to present formal means for describing the syntax of code switching. All of the systems exposed are illustrated with examples from Puerto Rican Spanish and English. This article focuses on intrasentential code switching (characterized as a development requiring competence in the two component codes and skill in manipulating the codes concurrently). The corpus was collected in recordings of 20 Puerto Rican bilingual or Spanish-dominant speakers, and the authors constantly emphasize the difference between surface and deep code switchings, with examples.
